A recent JAMA study, found here describes a strong correlation between hearing loss and dementia in older adults. A commentator interpreted this correlation to mean that people should do all they can to mitigate hearing loss as soon as it appears so as to reduce the risk of developing dementia. You may want to use this study, and particularly the commentator’s assertion as an example of how easy it is to over-interpret the meaning of a correlation.
